Cam opens up about Trina and Joss to Franco, who urges him to go to the party and have fun. At the nurses’ station, Portia receives the test results Anna is waiting for and decides to messenger them to her. Later, Ava stops by to check on Franco, but he isn’t up to a visit from her after her games. She admits to pushing Nikolas and Liz towards one another but confronts him for working with Scott to blackmail her but also Nikolas. She begs for the proof he has that Nikolas cheated because she needs it to get a divorce and save someone’s life. He asks whose life? She can’t tell him, and he tells her that he’s tired of being her pawn and that she and Nikolas deserve one another.
